Error: GitHub backend require "username" and "token" options

I'm trying to fetch assets from a public repository, but nuts keeps asking for a secret or token, both which shouldn't be needed.

Stack trace:

+1, public repo should be able to run /wo auth.

@WeeJeWel If you don't setup GitHub auth the API quickly reaches it's limit. Unauthenticated requests have an API limit of about 60 per hour.

Sorry for being late.

@WeeJeWel, I agree in theory it should not require an API token, but as @MarshallOfSound said, the API limit is very low and it's probably better to enforce the use of an API authentication.

@SamyPesse then still I would suggest to use a console.info, and don't throw an exception. It's pretty harsh :)
